What is your story about?
Make me interested in your game.

Mysterious mirrors start popping up all over the gritty, urban hub city, and it's up to MC (a grizzled detective) to figure out the mystery, venturing into mirror worlds and interrogating monsters in the process.

You also get a sarcastic sidekick. Here, have some enemy sprites. You can get them on your team because it's an SMT clone.

>>155422636
well done with the small shading change that fixes the egg king nicely.

so I'm completely new to rpg maker, got 2003 gifted to me
I thought I'd have a little bash at it
Wanted to import a sprite that's 64*64
when I import this I get the "Invalid image size" prompt.
I'm guessing the engine just has some arbitrary size minimum or something but I have no idea what it is. I don't have a whole new tileset so I can't turn it into one of those and lay out the sprite in 16*16 chunks. I'm truly baffled by what to do.
Can anyone help me out with this?

>>155424070
Thanks anon! Yeah, I took your feedback into account. It did kinda look like a dick.

>>155424181

Wow, that's a blast from the past.
What kind of sprite did you want to import? A character? A chipset? They have specific image sizes.
Take a look at the resources you have in your folders.

>>155425878
i was just going to be a chipset I guess

Working on replacing old sprites.
Does this look better?
Also do you have any suggestions for the new one?

>>155425691
You are improving a lot.
The arms look like wet noodles, though.

>>155426357
New is def better. It's really good, too. If I were to make a suggestion, maybe make the symmetry less obvious. Maybe have the new one, but in the old one's pose.

Hey guys, it's been a while.
We've finished our second demo of Eulogy of an Insect if you guys want to try! It's so much more polished, extended, with a lot of nice things done in RMVXA's engine.

I'll be posting a few screenshots, we'd really love feedback. Here's a link;

Not hit, but from the old demos I played, it is a Yume Clone with combat.

It's not really a YN thing

>>155432556
Maybe more like Sweet Home?

I mean, the demo I played last year only had like 6 maps, so I can't say there was much gameplay. But it was most definitely a "surreal horror where you walk a lot" sort of deal.

>>155432978
Are you sure you played it? There was an entire dungeon last year. It's not like what you're describing at all.

I mean, there was an even earlier build but I never posted it to 4chan way back when, just Moons of Pluto, if you happen to be from there. And that was a very different kind of game.

Tried making an art gallery system via the event system thingy, but no luck, all I got were awkward broken messes, so I sucked it up and used a moghunter script :v

Now that the timelines have converged again:

>>155415887
>I should probably say this, too: Thank you all for the feedback. The only way to make a better podcast is to know what you guys (our audience) want. I'll try better to tailor our content for the guests we have on-board (ie not ambushing relative normies with a complex topic) and remember that even if the casters may not care, the audience still wants to hear about cool news (like the doodads plugin).
I still found a lot of the discussion relevant, especially concerning grinding and padded boss health. It was an interesting outsiders' perspective on RPGs that may help RPGM devs, even if the presentation was a little lacking.
Also, personally I think the music always fades in a little too early and over too long a period of time.

But still, keep up the great work, the podcast's always something to look forward to!

>>155422376
It's a strange combination of all my not-inherently-lewd fetishes as a generic fantasy game.

>>155427346
old boss looks a lot spookier desu senpai

>>155432556
I really dig the music and the artstyle.
Not sure how the strike first mechanic really works, do I need to be in the animation when the enemy bumps into me? Hitting them from afar doesn't seem to work.
The messages in battle are too quick, I can hardly read what is happening!
The puzzles in the mine were really nice, I enjoyed them a lot.
Sometimes it's hard to see if I can interact with something or not, there is no indication for this.
For some reason I am unable to find the Don so I'll take a break there.
I quite enjoyed the demo and I'm sure your game has potential! Keep up the good work.
I also saw your homages there.

>>155437845
>Not sure how the strike first mechanic really works, do I need to be in the animation when the enemy bumps into me?
Yeah, as long as the animation is being done/you're holding A, you should get the first turn bonus.
It's this way pretty much as a result of RM's limitations, specifically with the free movement script.

>The messages in battle are too quick, I can hardly read what is happening!
Noted- we may do a battle log. If it helps, icons next to enemies you select during a fight show what kind of statuses they have. I've found it useful so I know not to keep debuffing or what have you.

>Sometimes it's hard to see if I can interact with something or not, there is no indication for this.
Any examples? Just curious how to improve it

>For some reason I am unable to find the Don so I'll take a break there.
Do the target practice and shootout, he'll show up

I appreciate the feedback and thoughts.

I don't know, but I keep trying this, and whenever I test the game, pressing the menu button quickly in succession just flat out makes it freeze in a black screen.

You inherit a restaurant and massive debt from your estranged father who is missing. The restaurant is on an island country home to world-class chefs who are incredibly skilled in the ancient magic arts, which is banned throughout the world for causing wars and being too dangerous in general. You find out that your father was the best among them and you have a chance to also become the best. Fortunately(or unfortunately), there is a rampant beast problem on the island to hone your skills and gather ingredients.

In addition to getting out of debt, you have to find out what happened to your father, what caused all the beasts to appear, and bring all the magical chefs together in order to destroy the beasts. And possibly fall in love in the process?

250 words? That's like a paragraph, anon. Maybe two.

I mean, I suppose it's the equivalent of a prelude. The Star War opening crawl is like 75 words.


There’s a big magic tree growing on the planet. The planet’s name is Gaia, named after the Creator Goddess. The tree’s fruit fell to the ground, and in the heat of the two suns they shriveled up and became Elves. In the beginning there were no women. These man elves smoked the leaves of the great magic tree and engaged in a year long orgy - until the magic tree bore new fruit. This time when the fruit fell, they did not shrivel up in the sun because the men had dug shelters in the earth to hide from the sun. Instead, the fruit rotted and oozed. Out of the ooze grew humans, their dicks shaped like mushrooms. The Human and Elf men join together in another year long orgy. On the third year the men did not wait for the tree to bear fruit and picked the blossoms in spring. The petals were silky & soft. A year long orgy had been pretty rough on their assholes. They wiped their bloody hemorrhoids with the petals. When they tossed the petals aside a miracle happened – in less than 10 minutes this post reached 224 words.

>>155479303

I want to have Guard multiply DEF and MDEF by 5, so that it becomes a lot more valuable since I plan to keep numbers very low so most attacks will do 1 damage and Guard can reduce even the strongest attacks to 0 damage.

Using YEP_SpecialParamFormula, do I do that by just changing Guard Calculation to [damage - (user.def * 5)], right?

>>155485171
>>155485569
You raise good points. I musn't give up hope.

Somewhat seriously, I wonder if I should make a straight up lewd game or stop somewhere short of explicit. I've been too busy to work on anything lately, but when I do it'll probably end up heading in that direction because I'm a perv, unless I end up doing something more surreal. The only question is how far to go.

I've always gotten the impression that people are less open to sexual content in things that aren't outright porn, but I might be misjudging things. I've spent too long in the wrong parts of the internet.

Of course, the worst thing I can do is never start.

Have things ever grown outside of your control, /rpgmg/?

It started as a simple porn game, that's all. NPCs are randomized, nice and easy, and sorted into families. After seeing some shennanigans like red haired dad, blonde mom, and black haired children, I thought - Hey, maybe some internal consistency might be nice. One thing led to another, I applied some basic high school biology to the randomizer, and so the physical traits of the parents are randomized, while the children are built randomly out of their respective genes.

Then I realized, I'm making Punnett fucking Squares for the hereditary consistency of make-believe families in a porn game where none of this really matters. What am I doing with my life?

How do I make an event in a battle wait a turn before continuing? I'm trying to have an enemy announce that they're gonna use a powerful move on the next turn and then continue the event in the next turn but instead everything happens at once.

>>155516450
You just add more event pages with different turn conditions.

>>155516450
Announcing adds a State.
Then you check that the State is on to launch an attack.

>>155516784
I don't think I understand. How do I set up the turn conditions?

>>155516996
Troop Events.

And you can check Yanfly's Solar Beam Tips and Tricks for more info.

Not exactly motivated to work on my own project right now.
Anyone need help with their story or writing in general?

>>155518158
Yeah, it's set in the same universe as your game.

How should I develop this side plot?

>>155517076
I know how to do turn conditions, but I don't think those would work because they count turns starting from the beginning of the battle. Also Yanfly doesn't seem to have a Solar Beam Tips and Tricks.

>>155518773
Uh, I could swear he had one.

But you should be using the State I mentioned early, not counting turns.

So the Troop announcing an attack also adds a State to itself. And in the Troop Events, you make it so the Troop performs the powerful attack 100% of the time if it is under said State.

You really need to check out Wakfu and Twelve Kingdoms then. Both are really cool fantasy worlds. Magic the Gathering has a lot of fucking comfy fantasy worlds too, although Lorwyn is probably not their best job (still nice to draw references of Celtic Mythology)

Venture Bros is pretty funny, but hardly rpgmg related, though.

>>155519143
Sorry, I should have been clearer with this situation.

The enemy wouldn't actually use a powerful attack after saying it will. Instead, the battle event continues with something else happening. In fact, I already gave the enemy a powerful attack by giving the Wait command a state and only using the attack when it has that state. However, there didn't really seem to be an obvious way to have, say, a character say something after a certain point in a battle and then say something else on the next turn. I think I solved it by giving the enemy a different state when the event starts which lets them use a skill that calls a common event that consists of the rest of the event. It seems like an incredibly janky solution though.

the only thing that bugged me is the first note of the "B aA bB cC bB..." melody. it's more noticeable when you have a ticker/beat alongside the melody.

it starts on B, and then goes into that "aa bb cc bb" thing, which feels like it's accidentally leftover or something, even though i know that's not what it is.

it's not necessarily that you need to change it into the same "Aa Bb Cc Bb" timing as what i'm showing, because the "aA bB cC bB" that you have now is fine.

everything else is fine, and the movement you go into later on is fine to me if that's what you're going for.

>>155617580
M-Me? I'm not the other anons, just curious about that filename.

But it's kind of a clusterduck of ideas welded together - a villainous MC wants to build an empire (as opposed to overthrowing one). You start small, maybe you're an ex-soldier leaving the military and slowly recruiting people for your bandit hideout. Maybe you're a mage whose contracted a succubus and are slowly seducing hapless women into your underground sect. From there, your organization grows. Expanding into the city is near suicide - organizations and people far more powerful than you will kill you if they notice - but reaching out into the wilds, away from human lands, is a labor in its own right. But it is possible. Perhaps you have settled in cave network. Perhaps a city. Perhaps a castle. You recruit, you expand. The end game is a little amorphous, but I've got some ideas. The game is also innately very lewd.

The only selling point it has going for is sRPG combat and the NPC dynamics. I've laid the framework for a massive system of families and relationships, including but not limited to romance. The way it's currently set up, a player could ignore the overlord thing entirely and spend his time working in a shop and slowly try wooing the young owner, eventually marrying her. And then corrupting her, so that she's open to other wives or whatever dastardly deeds you might commit. But marriage is just a tool, not a goal, and your wife will be your most trustworthy asset in all that you do, provided your actions has not spurred her to plot behind your back in jealousy or malcontent.

wasn't the artist responding lol; anyway, i'm definitely a fan of pretty guys as well.
<<<<

even though i'm focusing a lot on the presentation of the game to make it aesthetically pleasing, the attention it gets from it will lead to a lot of disappointment, unfortunately.

it's going to be a bullet hell / action game hybrid with grinding and farming. the action game elements are abilities like dashing, blocking, instant blocking, slashing bullets, etc, and it's going to be a pretty skill-based game.

just creating the core game's art assets is taking wayyy too fucking long, so if things go as planned, there's not going to be much story and possibly even very little characterization. i'm *really* not looking forward to going back to animating sprites again once i'm done with the portraits.

buut if i feel like never releasing the game by attempting to create an actual story scenario, this character would be the sexy senpai of the party that *knows* he looks good. and while the protagonist is in a party with 3 girls and this guy, this guy would've be the only character the protagonist reacted to nervously because of attraction. lol

that sounds like an odd choice for rpg maker, is it all map based or are there separate battle scenes?

It could be an interesting change in gameplay, but you'd have to understand that losing is what you need to do.

Note that RPG Maker games are unlikely to find a Walkthrough or Guider, so it'd be annoying to have a character that most skip.

It has pros (mobile support, mouse support, much better character generator, fully editable code, built-in sideview battles) and cons (lag on music, lag on tile animation of huge maps, smaller maximum size for maps).

And some subjective stuff (shitty RTP, JavaScript instead of Ruby)

I'm going 'ugh' because I just got back into this kind of thing and spent a while trying to decide between Ace and MV, and eventually settled on MV because I assumed it'd soon enough crank up to being the most supported version, and I liked having three background layers and sideview battles out of the box.

But the lag I'm getting from basically fucking everything in this game is atrocious. I know my laptop isn't exactly a rocket ship, but a 2D game of this type, especially when I'm on a new project file with basically nothing, having so much lag and instability is fucking bonkers.

Clothed and bottom one is the original template I'm using. Middle one is modified.

Which is better? I think the original one have arms more strong, poses more confidence in the walk. The second one have thicker legs and thinner arms, maybe I can use that for the female template.

>if you're going to make a [not turn-based rpg], why use rm when you can use [not rm]?
no matter what engine you choose, and no matter which genre your game is, you HAVE TO script things yourself.

the most user-friendly maker out there is along the lines of Game Maker. the only type of game GM can create faster than RM are the shitty "1-day game challenge" "games". absolutely nobody cares about those.

and if you're not making those "games", you're not going to be sticking to GM's "event commands". anything provided by GM, like physics and collision detection, is still going to be rewritten for your own game. you need your own game-specific accelerations and collision methods. they're simple things to write as well.

and ontop of the fact that you need to do similar amounts of programming for the base game, you give up a lot of things by not using RM: menus, inventories, equipment, and just the overall class structure of the system, $gameWhatever. i do not care one bit about figuring out how Yanfly created the instanced equipment, and i'll gladly build my game ontop of that.

i definitely don't want to care about things like "when scrolling pages with PageDown, you should realign the cursor to the lowest visible item, because you don't want the 'currently selected' index to be longer than the visible list".

so whenever i read "use something else", i see the poster as either:
1. an RM user who doesn't know the first thing about programming, so they'll just say "use anything else than RM, because people tell me it's too hard in RM. i don't really know why, though."

2. a programmer who's completely unfamiliar with RM, so they'll just recommend anything that's C++ or C#. "..Well, okay, fine. now that Undertale's out, Game Maker's part of the list of accepted engines, too."

there's nothing wrong with doing unusual stuff in rpgmaker, but people usually do it for a reason

>>155655415
after a while, the language doesn't really matter much. they all have their quirks and annoyances. the main differences would be from the code base they're given to work with.

...but since you are just asking about the specifics of the game,

at first it was built as its own scene inheriting from scene_base, but there were things that scene_map took care of that i needed, so i spent some time converting the project to a scene_map version.

and since yanfly's doodad plugin came out, it's especially good that the project's now integrated directly into scene_map. map making process should be even easier now.

Lewd game: Whore master, you and a group of friends start a prostitution and drug ring in a poor part of town with dreams of paying your way into the inner city (where you'll whore and drug up the rich).

RPG Maker MV, why are my autotiles not aligned to the circle? For all intents and purposes, all the characters should be aligned with the grid at the very center of their sprite, and yet playtesting is acting goofy like this.

Can someone explain what's happening?

provide the tileset and/or charset

>>155712928
The characters are probably displaced a little bit "up" to make up for the edges in many tiles

>>155715434
So I'm measuring this again, the circle is centered, and the auto-tile is aligned as well.

Are you saying a script or something is automatically moving the characters' sprites a bit up?

>>155716859
Yes. That is what I am saying. I believe the game naturally aligns the characters about 8 pixels up so they don't stand outside the edge of an autotiled cliff, for example.

This probably sounds like a stupid question, but I just woke up so bare with me.

I got these 2 attacks, Air Launch and Gravity. Air Launch is supposed to deal more damage when the enemy weighs light, and Gravity deals more damage when the enemy weighs heavy.

If I replace the Agility stat with one called Weight, what sort of damage formula will I need for each attack to have their desired effects (using VX Ace)?

For Gravity, I assume that simply using something like "b.agi * 10" or whatever would work, but what about for Air Launch? How do I make it deal more damage by having LOW agi?

>>155718183
Make the formula like 5*(100-agi).

So does yanfly's doodads plugin just not work with the cracked version?

I keep getting a node-webkit window pop up whenever I start my game stating that my version's below 1.3.0.

I wouldn't be surprised since it only came out like a week ago.

well is your pirated MV 1.30+ or rather your games rpg_core.js

>tfw you want to use Yanfly's doodads but you game has very strict artistic style limits.

The crack is supposedly 1.3.1, but it shows 1.3.0 due some bug or something.

Tried checking the core but I haven't found anything related to the version.

Anyone know of a plugin that makes tile to tile movement without animating between them?

How do you guys think this menu mock-up looks? The 2 rows there would be in the same place, toggled with a button press, and the 5 party members would be stacked vertically like that
the lines on the left will be a simplified skill tree, that's a placeholder currently

I feel it might be too cluttered

Is this normal?

>>155727327
that means your projects rpg_core is outdated.
Did you create that project with that version of MV or an earlier version, it doesnt update your projects js files, you gotta do that yourself. create a new project and look in its rpg_core, this one should be updated. if it is, copy paste it in your project and replace the outdated file. To be safe just update all of those js files if it turns out the new project files are updated.

/rpgmaker/ reporting in, I'm making sprites right now but I can't decide which type of portrait would look better for the characters, either pixelated like the bottom portrait or thinner / sharper like the top one in pic related.

I can't into art so I need to use references almost all the time, I'm not entirely satisfied with the results but it still feels much better than using external resources

>>155734101
I don't trust that fucking wolf. I bet the village is full of demons

>>155734101
I like the sharper one better, but the thick lines in the bottom portrait go better with the thick lines of the interface and the environment.

I messed around with the files a bit and ended up with this. It turns out that it's Yanfly's doodads causing this too. When I turn off the plugin, the game runs just fine.

So far it seems the plugin and 1.3.1 don't seem compatible at all, but that can't be the case.

Does anyone know what command or where to find the command for displaying messages for buffs being applied, removed, or failing to be removed?

Example: The player is under the effects of blind(modified so it doesn't expire at the end of battle). There is an item with a 50% chance to remove blind. In combat, there are messages displayed for the blind remaining or being removed successfully. But if you use that item out of battle, the buff is dispelled/remains without any message to the player that the item succeeded or failed, except for looking at whether the buff icon went away or not.

As far as I can find, this would be the place to include such a thing, but only because I can't find which script actually handles buff application/removal.

> VX Ace Scripts
> Scene_ItemBase
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Use Item
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def use_item
play_se_for_item
user.use_item(item)
use_item_to_actors
check_common_event
check_gameover
@actor_window.refresh
end

Do you have something lewd in your otherwise non lewd game?
I'm thinking about adding a brothel the player can go to but the scenes would fade to black.

>>155749418
A lot of my characters are naked, but they don't have naughty bits so I hope it is ok.

And if it isn't ok, then whatever. I am not putting clothes on a dryad.

>>155746470
continuing to work on this, looking through Window_BattleLog and Game_Battler to see how exactly the game handles Buff/Debuff State changes. I wanted to use that change because I could use the built-in text boxes that are already available, but I'm wondering if an easier way to go about it (only because there seems to be more information on how VX Ace's scripts interact just because it seems like most people just download someone else's scripts and it's hard to find discussion or documentation on how shit actually works) is to somehow attach the pass/fail messages to the item being used. (using Notes? Not sure how to access that data yet from a script)

Cops can handcuff you, preventing normal skill use and forcing you to use a lockpick item or the Struggle skill that you're given while handcuffed.

It's not a lewd game yet. :`)

>>155746470
so you want to have a similar "Blind was successfully removed!" message pop up in the item menu?

this is a little tough because the item scene doesn't have a "message" window to display that kind of information.

>>155749418
it's a yume nikki fangame. there are 4 characters you can pick from by changing the order of your party. and one of the harder to find effects is going to be "Naked". The characters react differently to some of the effects.

>>155750708
I mean, I don't mind making one if that's necessary. I've already mangled the status and equipment screens to display the information I want in the order that I want in those various windows. I just need some direction. Like, should I look at the equipment screen and see how it handles the message box at top so I can duplicate it for the item screen? There's plenty of space there to add one. I can do that. No issue.

The issue is how to actually access the State change happening. I want to access the State being removed/failed to being removed and use its built-in messages as text to be displayed.

>>155751136
>>155750708
Or utilize the top message box that already displays item descriptions. That's also a possibility. Here's an example of the work I'm doing with the status screen. I'm not using level or MP so those have been done away with. I'm still working on that info text, but since that's not really critical right now it's still just displaying the mangled placeholder text.

You don't need a script. You just preface the filename with a !
It's super dumb, too, since you have to go through all your events and reassign them.

But if you're using Actor_A.png it instead needs to be named !Actor_A.png

You can also add a $ if there's only one character, if for some reason you're using individual sheets instead of collating them. You can combine the two, too. So you can have a $!Actor_A.png if you want.

>>155726230
Two major issues:

One, the right side has way too much whitespace (blackspace?) The menu options should fill the space provided.

Two, that's a lot of fucking information for the party screen. Generally you use the status detail screen for all that information. You probably should condense that down to just the most important information the player needs to know. Probably skills, HP / MP, maybe AP and AS(?). Probably not equipment.

Think about an average player and what information they need at a glance and what can be left for the status detail or equipment screens.


IF HOWEVER you are using this to replacing having a status detail screen and you're okay with the information that usually provides not being there because you're not using it, then something like what you've got is fine, if a bit cluttered. The small text on HP&MP compared to everything else is weird, and how large of a space you have for equipment as compared to the rest of the data.

>>155754974
have you looked at the scripts at all yourself or are you a "hands off, plugins only" type person?

>>155726230
>>155754809
thinking about this more, you might want to have the display swap between showing skills and equipment, moving the skills over to the right and reducing the equipment spaces by half so you fit in six where three were before. The space where the skills are might be okay blank since that places more importance on the name/level identifier for the character.
